This case report provides ultrastructural evidence of mitochondrial damage in propofol-related infusion syndrome. Analysis revealed electron-dense bodies in muscle and liver cells, indicating impaired fatty acid metabolism.
Area of Science:
- Mitochondrial biology
- Toxicology
- Pathology
Background:
- Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare but serious complication.
- The exact pathogenesis of PRIS, particularly the role of mitochondria, requires further elucidation.
- Mitochondrial dysfunction is suspected in PRIS, but direct ultrastructural evidence is limited.
